A Night of Trinh Cong Son’s Music “Nguyet ha”
8pm, July 17
Institut Français de Hanoi – L’Espace
24 Trang Tien, Hanoi
‘Nguyet ha’ is a return to the original spirit of Trinh Cong Son music. It is also an opportunity for Giang Trang, Le Thu Huong and Le Thu to gather after following their own paths.
The tree artists, who live and work in different countries, will have a chat over the melodies and lyrics of songwriter Trinh Cong Son. The conversation, sometimes busy, sometimes calm, which empties or fills with the singing, classical guitar and flute, is a return to the serene space of Trinh Cong Son music.
Each song has its own origin, bringing a memory, like a distant meeting in the moonlight. “Nguyet ha” embeds the audience in a quiet area, which floats between memory, forgetting and melancholy.
Tickets: A ticket VND 300,000; B ticket VND 170,000; B ticket for members VND 100,000; B ticket for students VND 80,000
